Why invest in AAC?

Every investment in AAC carries the approach of making it relevant for the industry players, to be competitive and sustainable within Asia and globally. Which is why the entry points are through strategic partnership with the OEMs and/or with the Tier 1 organisations to understand innovation and cost parameters and support their programmes for the next 10-20 year horizon. This is fully backed by the Government and privately owned aerospace infrastructure and facilities.

Efficient technology and innovation transfer by the OEMs, competitive cost structures of Malaysian industries, and a full backing of the Malaysian government ensure that investments into AAC are among the most profitable and sustainable ventures in aerospace within Asia.

Our Pledge

AAC practices transparency and ethical corporate governance. The Malaysia Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) implements stringent intellectual property protection, and provides the assurance that all government entities involved are working together, and that policies are made to facilitate the growth of the aerospace industry.
